What the facility does
Remote sensing of vegetation, biophysical and biochemical analysis
Areas of expertise
The Remote Sensing and Spatial Ecosystem Modeling Laboratory integrates remote sensing and ecosystem modelling approaches to study the vast Canadian terrestrial ecosystems at multiple levels (species, communities, ecosystem), spatial scales (local, using drones, to regional, using satellite images), and dimensions (biophysical and biochemical drivers, human causes and climate drives).
